This type of portable kerosene pressure stove was commonly used for camping, outdoor cooking, and military applications in the early 1900s to mid-century. It operates by pressurizing liquid fuel (such as kerosene or methylated spirits) using the pump, which is then vaporized and burned to produce a strong, hot blue flame. These stoves were popular with travellers, explorers, and rural households before the widespread availability of electric and gas stoves.This is an antique portable kerosene or spirit stove, likely from the early to mid-20th century. The stove consists of a circular metal fuel tank at the base, which is darkened and aged, possibly made of brass or iron. A raised burner assembly sits atop the fuel tank, enclosed by a metal wind shield, which appears to be stamped with a manufacturer's name or logo. The burner head is centrally positioned, with a control valve and a pressurizing pump extending from the tank’s side. The top of the stove features a circular cast-iron trivet or pot stand with multiple supports, allowing pots or kettles to rest above the flame. The trivet has a well-worn patina, with visible signs of heat exposure and rust. It may indicate a well-known brand such as Primus, Optimus, or another vintage stove manufacturer.cooking, gas, kitchen, household item

The Kew Historical Society's postcard collection includes views of Kew, Melbourne and Greater Melbourne as well as those including overseas scenes sent or received from Europe or the Middle East. They date from the 1890s to the 2000s. These postcards may or may not include the name of the publisher or printer. A number of the cards were published as parts of popular series. A way of dating early postcards is to identify whether the reverse was divided by a central line which became the norm after 1902 in the United Kingdom. However, other postcards produced after this date do not always conform to this print layout.One of a series of pictorial postcards showing a woman on a bicycle near to the River Yarra in Kew.Polychrome postcard of the River Yarra at Kew, showing a woman with a bike (right) looking away from the River.My dear friend I suppose you will think I am a "beauty", but I have no excuse to offer for not writing, only the longer I put it off the longer I want to.

The story behind the coat is that it was created in the early 1920s by F.J.Ellimor,Brunswick furriers, at the request of Mr Walter Tepper. Walter Tepper lived on a property, "Woodlands" at Kewell, near Murtoa. He trapped the rabbits and took the pelts to Melbourne where he commissioned the furrier to make the coat for his soon to be fiancé, Ida. Walter Tepper is buried in the Murtoa cemetery. Walter's granddaughter Carol Michalicek's (nee Schultz) donated the coat to the Murtoa Museum.It is significant as it is a fine example of the use of rabbit skins to create a fashionable coat. It remains in very good condition, 95 years since its creation. The coat has a link to the Tepper family who have resided in the district for over 100 years. This dark brown rabbit fur coat is well tailored, with quality inner lining and a dark, even-dyed coat. There is so much detail in the design of the coat, including a gorgeous heart shaped pocket. It would have taken quite a few rabbits pelts to make the long full-length coat, as an average rabbit skin provides about 9 inch². walter and ida tepper, rabbit skin coat, kewell
